Thriller
THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BOOK LIKE THE TWENTY-YEAR DEATH A
breathtaking first novel written in the form of three
separate crime novels, each set in a different decade and
penned in the style of a different giant of the mystery
genre. 1931— The body found in the gutter in France led the
police inspector to the dead man’s beautiful daughter—and to
her hot-tempered American husband. 1941— A hardboiled
private eye hired to keep a movie studio’s leading lady
happy uncovers the truth behind the brutal slaying of a
Hollywood starlet. 1951— A desperate man pursuing his last
chance at redemption finds himself with blood on his hands
and the police on his trail... Three complete novels that,
taken together, tell a single epic story, about an author
whose life is shattered when violence and tragedy consume
the people closest to him. It is an ingenious and
emotionally powerful debut performance from literary
detective and former bookseller Ariel S. Winter, one that
establishes this talented newcomer as a storyteller of the
highest caliber.
